The table below represents the height of a bird above the ground during flight, with p(t) representing height in feet and t representing time in seconds calculate the average rate of change from 3 to 9 seconds

Using the table, the average rate of change from 3 to 9 seconds  is of -0.475 feet per second.

The average rate of change of a function P(x) over an interval [a,b] is given by:

In this problem, we want the rate from 3 to 9 seconds, hence .

Considering the units, the average rate of change from 3 to 9 seconds is of -0.475 feet per second.

calculate the difference height (P) is -6 and (t) is 2.85

Δy divided by Δx = rate of change

3-9 = -6

6.23-3.41 = 2.85

then divide

2.85 / -6 = .475

Your answer will be - .475
